Lots of neat features and not expensive.

It seems as the folks asking for 76 keys are asking Yamaha to build a Tyros2 with 76 keys, which would entail a complete retooling. This would involve spending huge sums of money for a very small market--it ain't gonna' happen.

Gary the first arranger I used some 3 plus years ago when I first started playing gigs was the DGX505 with 88 keys very lightweight too. I paid $ about 599. for it in one of the wholesale clubs. The audience never seemed to mind. Despite some neat features it just didn't have enough of them or the flexibility that the more advanced arrangers have.

Not sure I need to go here but will anyway, why is it for $599 they can offer a scaled down arranger( for young piano students possibly) but for $3000. can only offer 61 keys? I know the topic has been beaten to death. Yes retooling is expensive and you're right it ain't going to happen.......
